From a monopole site, one of the Nahe's smallest protected areas, Dönnhoff coaxes magic out of these gray slate and loam soils.

Pair with grilled mackerel, strong cheeses, and rich spicy dishes.

Though it's now cultivated worldwide, Riesling is nearly synonymous with German wine, and that country's winemakers have lately begun to produce some very exciting dry versions.
